I can't afford another daily driver and I just sold my 96 Civic Coupe. I need to pull my DOHCZC to replace the timing belt and the HG and do some other minor work to the head.

My problem is the motor replacing my DOHCZC is a 94D15B from a friends Civic. He had the spare block lying around but no head. I had a spare SOHC ZC head so I decided to put the two together. I'm using the D15B/D16A6 head gasket, 94CivicDX, couldn't afford the D16Z6 gasket. What I'd like to know is what Timing Belt do I use? I would imagine the Z6 since thats what most use for their minime's but I wanted to make sure..

I spent the day cleaning the block and preping it and the head then I realize I had no Tbelt. I have another complete D15B2 chillin in the backyard with a new tbelt on it, wondering if I could use that. And how many ftlbs does the head bolts need to be torque'd to?

Yes I'm usually 1 of the first people to say search, but ZC isn't searchable, and D15B turns up 800+ posts about D15BVtec motors. Any help will be awarded with a gold star or something. Thx, - Darrell

 

Usually you would match the timing belt to the head you are using. You can try the B2 belt, but I'm guessing it's too short. Most likely you'll need the A6 belt.

 

I tried the T-belt off a 90 D15b and it was too long. I'm using a 94 DX block and SOHCZC head. Anyone have a difinitive answer of what belt to use? Also, I need a new crank pulley bolt and the D15b I had lying around has a smaller snout on it. Anyone happen to know what T belt to use for sure? I'd like to get my DOHCZC out today or tomarrow and get the SOHCZC in so I can start rebuilding the DOHC. Thx all

Here's pics, maybe that'll get more people to chime in with any info
